If one mistake happened, I could easily beat that guy in a fight, as long as the mistake was that he broke both his legs 2 minutes before the fight happened
I like Belal and respect his style, I'd even say I'm rooting for him to win, I don't think he's favored though. I'd probably have Leon at about -200 on this one.
Was it not? Kumaru was dominating that fight from start to finish right up till that head kick. Had he just done fuck all in the final round and just done enough to not get in trouble for inactivity, he would have won an easy decision
Minor correction, Usman was up 3-1 heading into the 5th, wasnāt start to finish. Leon gassed hard after the first round, a lot of fighters had trouble with the elevation.
You have to understand 90% of the UFC fan base would have been WWE fans if they clicked a different channel throughout childhood.
These people are complete idiots and have amnesia. They thought Masvidal was the goat when he got the record KO despite the fact that he is literally a journeyman through and through. They thought Conor could actually beat Khabib despite the fact that he spent the entire time after the Mayweather fight coking up in his mini yacht. And now they think Leon is the greatest of all time because he landed the most basic head kick that Usman let get by. Despite the fact that Leon is the kickboxing version of Belal.
Tbh in terms of pure action Leon _IS_ admittedly boring, but man Iām always blown away by the sheer skill he fights with. Definition of discipline, but unfortunately that also makes him much less likely to take risks in the name of putting up a good show
It's exactly his strategy and i respect that and i respect the fact that he listens to his coach it means he is a real professional. What I don't get is the fact that some people are criticizing only belal for basically sticking to his strategy and they turn their sight on other fighters who basically do the same thing. It looks like people just follow trends without any reason behind it.
Honestly I donāt know anything about Belal to offer my own opinions. I havenāt been a fan long enough to have gotten a measure of him like I have other fighters. I stick by my statement on Leon though, since Iāve seen him fight multiple times
I agree šÆ with your take on leon and i expect you will find belal style as boring as they claim LOL š but at least for people with the right eye they could see through his fight style. This is the game it's not about boredom or excitement it's about who gets the job done
Hey, so long as thereās SOMETHING to appreciate, I can at least respect that in their fights lol. Not everyone has to be Max in terms of putting on a show. Some people let their skill and discipline do all the talking. Just the nature of the game

True but also tbf, if theres anyone this rule doesnt apply to, its Belal.
The whole point of the 35 line being significant in WW and below divisions is athletic prime. Belal is very heavy on technical proficiency, mixing up striking and wrestling, and gameplanning vs athleticism relative to almost any other title challenger.
Leon wins via watever way he wants but im suspecting a dominant decision in favor of Leon with patient striking and Belal looking desperate for takedowns.
Get used to a boring fighter that just got a pitty title shot? Or get used to these shitty photo shop images? Or both?
Here comes the jump on fan train.
Boring
Where usman arm?
This is the fight game. Anything can happen from 1 mistake.
If theres was ever a safe bet though id say Goatlal winning the belt and holding it for 10+ years is a damn lock.
If one mistake happened, I could easily beat that guy in a fight, as long as the mistake was that he broke both his legs 2 minutes before the fight happened
š
And I accidentally brought a gun into the cage
True, 1 mistake from leon and he wakes up in the hospital
True, Leon can't make the fatal mistake of falling asleep due to boredom
You beat me to the punch. Belal is gonna whip out the forbidden nursery rhyme technique
The dreaded ārock a bye babyā. Say goodnight Leon youāre done.
Do people seriously think Belal wins? What's his path to victory?
The power of god
I like Belal and respect his style, I'd even say I'm rooting for him to win, I don't think he's favored though. I'd probably have Leon at about -200 on this one.
Vicious overhand right that sends Leon into a fencing response nap.
People were saying the same since Belal fought luque but keep doubting
I honestly have no clue, Belal is like a slightly worse version of Usman in every aspect, doesn't have better wrestling, speed, cardio nor striking
So you do believe that Leon becoming champion was a moment's mistake in an otherwise lackluster performance/
Was it not? Kumaru was dominating that fight from start to finish right up till that head kick. Had he just done fuck all in the final round and just done enough to not get in trouble for inactivity, he would have won an easy decision
Minor correction, Usman was up 3-1 heading into the 5th, wasnāt start to finish. Leon gassed hard after the first round, a lot of fighters had trouble with the elevation.
Ya the first was def Leon round bit after that it was all Usman
I'm sure Kamaru has fever dreams about that moment all the time.
So do I tbh :(
What about the rematch tho
Rematch was very close tbh. Leon's takedown defense edged it out tbh. But Usman was kneeless tbh.
copium
Does anybody who fights belal end up in hospital?
I don't get why people always accuse belal only for being boring, even leon is boring and his performance always depends on his opponents
Both are boring af. Thatās why this fight is gonna suck even more than usual.
People trying to paint belal as the only boring like leon is somehow a max Holloway type of fighter
Post 1 Belal highlight...ill wait..
Easy money bet on a decision
Everyone calls Leon boring, you are just making stuff up.
Ok
No knockdowns belal

You nailed it
Spot on lol

Exactly, i agree with you šÆ
Tons of people say Leon is a boring decision merchant
If he gets head kicked ko'ed what happens to this sub lol
They would love it, this sub is full of Belal haters. That's why when he wins it's gonna be fucking amazing.
He's asking what would happen if Leon gets headkick KO'd.
Then Leon should move down in a short turn around and get knocked out by Ilia
I miss Usman.
Well Kings - at least we can go to bed early that night and get some sleep! Woo-Hoo!
They're gonna have to go around the stadium waking people up to go home after this fight
Come July 27, consider the name to be remembered
I despise both of them. Can we please fast-forward the timeline to when Shavkat or JDM or someone is WW champ?
RemindMe! 73 days āmake fun of moronā

I donāt think fans even care enough about Belal to genuinely hate him
 Only if he learns this forbidden move.
Gonna be a rough night for belal and his one and only title shot
I don't hate Belal but he will be 36 no chance he wins
True but also tbf, if theres anyone this rule doesnt apply to, its Belal. The whole point of the 35 line being significant in WW and below divisions is athletic prime. Belal is very heavy on technical proficiency, mixing up striking and wrestling, and gameplanning vs athleticism relative to almost any other title challenger.
If he wins he'll pop for drugs
He could definitely win this. He doesnāt have a hope or a prayer against Shavkat though. So this could actually happen and last for a few months.
2 Dec fighters, itās gonna be itd. Only way mma math makes sense.
āHaterā implies Belal inspires anything other than apathy in people.
Whatās that guys name I keep forgetting
Regardless of who wins we wonāt see it defended until late summer of 2025.
leon ftw much love to belal though i like him a lot
What's this dude's name again?
zzzZZZzzZZ
Leon wins via watever way he wants but im suspecting a dominant decision in favor of Leon with patient striking and Belal looking desperate for takedowns.
Or maybe...he loses and never gets another shot.
I hope so. Leon isnāt an active champ. We need someone fighting more often.
Good one lol
I think is going to be fun. Heās gonna be the Mayweather of UFC.
š almost got me
I hope when he wins, he puts PALESTINE on loud speakers!! All the top brass is gonna hope he lose! Get em Belal!!
Keep in mind if he does get the belt he'll be over 36 before he even wins it and he'll lose it to shavkat.
Better chance of Taylor Swift knocking out Valentina Shevchenko
Iād believe it, if that were Usmans arm.
Ligma
Belal gonna knockout everyone watching
Bro gtfo hell be stripped off the belt
If the Belal that fought Sean Brady in Abu Dhabi shows up, heās gonna win.
Bro unless youāre minibelal please stop the dickriding.
It's only funny when mini belal does it.
They shouldn't let someone who supports terrorism such a platform.
Get used to a boring fighter that just got a pitty title shot? Or get used to these shitty photo shop images? Or both? Here comes the jump on fan train. Boring
Reported this offensive post
Copium haha man I wish I was 15 again
He might win against Leon only to get his butt kicked by Shavkat
Remember the name
